Neal’s Yard Dairy, Cheese Tasting Sketchnotes

For my most recent birthday, Brad purchased tickets to a Christmas Cheese Tasting at Neal’s Yard Dairy. We have been before — to their very popular Beer & Cheese tasting — and absolutely loved it. First we found out I was expecting (and that rules out a fair few cheeses) and then the Christmas Cheese tasting was unfortunately cancelled. Thankfully we were able to book into the Mountain Cheese tasting held on February 9th.

This is the little blurb from their website: The cheeses from the mountain regions of Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, France and Italy are amongst the oldest, most traditional and romantic in the World. Steeped in history, their origins can be traced back many hundreds of years and beyond. Those generations of experience can result in some of the most exciting and engrossing cheese to be found anywhere. Join us for a high altitude tour of european mountain cheeses that which will expand your taste buds and your imagination.

Brad got to taste all the cheeses on the list but so I didn’t miss out, the team at Neal’s Yard kindly prepared a special pregnancy safe cheese plate just for me. I made lots of notes, which you can see below…

Portobello Giving Project

I’ve taken on a number of commissions over the past few months but unfortunately they haven’t made it to the blog given the big move and the impending arrival! 

David Barrie (who was involved with The People’s Supermarket) asked me to help with a proposal for the Portobello Giving Project, which is a social venture in which donors who live in an urban area donate money to and share skills with local enterprise. Read more about Community Capitalism

The book of illustrations was then filmed and a video created by Linus Kraemer.
